You have done great!   Everyone loses at their own rate and if you spend time caught up in comparing your loss to others you miss giving yourself credit for what YOU have done!

Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!

Nic!!!

You should listen to Moie, after all, she's MUCH older and MUCH wiser!!!  LOL!!  Sorry, Moie!!

Seriously, Nic, I'm SO glad YOU see what we've seen all along - that you're beautiful inside AND out!!  But I know it's a battle - to see the good that's outside, you first have to see the good that's inside.

You own this girl!!!  No one else can say they lost YOUR 80 pounds - you did it!!!  It's your hard work, your determination, your sweat, your tears.

You have come so far, physically AND mentally, and I'm so proud of you!!! 

Love ya,

Tia

You have done an amazing job sweetie!!  You should be very proud of yourself. tell me do you think before having WLS that we would have been able to lose 80 pounds in 7 months? Never in a million years. 
I am very proud of you girl. Remeber you have worked very hard to get where you are at and we are very proud of your progress and major transformation. 

You look beautiful!!!

Hugs

Nicole,

I am so glad you did this comparison for yourself (and then shared it with us)! You are frequently so hard on yourself. But this is proof that you have done a great job and you have every right to be proud of yourself. I know I am proud of you - CONGRATULATIONS!

BIG CHANGE ALREADY!!!! Dont Knock yourself. 80 pounds in 7 short months is AMAZING! Everyone swirves off track from time to time just jump back on and you will be fine. But as for now you can totally see a big difference. You have to feel incredible already. Think of the POSITIVE!!!!! ~Jilly~
